Ghana's ruling party candidate concedes election to opposition leader John Mahama

Ghana's vice president, Mahamudu Bawumia, has conceded defeat in the presidential election to opposition candidate John Dramani Mahama. Bawumia, representing the ruling New Patriotic Party, acknowledged the voters' choice for change. In a press briefing, Bawumia expressed respect for the election outcome and congratulated Mahama as the president-elect. This concession comes before the official election results are announced. The ruling party faced challenges in addressing the country's economic crisis under outgoing President Nana Akufo-Addo, contributing to the election's competitive nature.
